Traffic was tied up with a couple incidents on Friday, which is Snowman Burning Day.
This annual festival, celebrated in Switzerland and America, marks the end of winter and the beginning of spring.
While Tucsonans may not have many snowmen to burn, they did have following traffic incidents reported by 7 a.m.:
• North Alvernon Way and East Speedway Boulevard, an undetermined traffic hazard reported at 6:51 a.m.
• South Harrison and East Irvington roads, another undetermined traffic hazard reported at 6:49 a.m.
Area agencies could neither confirm nor deny whether the traffic hazards had anything to do with burning snowmen.
